There is a lot of talk about how terrorists communicate. The
big issues are the encryption communication apps on cell-phones. Yes, they
exist and available to anyone who chooses to download them.
The fearful of losing more privacy liberties would like to ban the ability of
the Silicon Valley companies to provide the access via a backdoor in all
cellphones. Governments and law enforcements agencies would like to have an entry to
surf the communications for terrorist behavior. There are valid arguments on both sides.
I would bet that each company that manufactures the
cellphones have a top secret back door accesses into each phone sold in order
to protect their mercantile survival just in case some cataclysmic event
happens in the future that threatens their existence. I would think that the
existence of a top-secret code is known only to a very few or maybe just an
individual programmer. If I were running a major, multi-national company with
profits in the billions I would have such a code. Greed and truth have their
limits when extinction is the result.
I acknowledge that my thinking is pure speculation, but to
me it makes sense.
